“…This finding is consistent with other studies [3,[7][8][9][10][11][12]16]. All but 3 cases (94%) had a cytologically correct tumor classification compared with the histologi cal diagnosis in the group of malignant and benign tumors where histological ma terial was available (table II).…”

“…All but 3 cases (94%) had a cytologically correct tumor classification compared with the histologi cal diagnosis in the group of malignant and benign tumors where histological ma terial was available (table II). The diag nostic specificity of the cytological classi fication has varied between 53 and 100% in other investigations [I, 2, 16, 20-22], whereas many studies [3][4][5][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14], do not report comparison between cytological and histological findings.…”

During a 3-year period, 19 physicians performed 271 transthoracic fine-needle aspirations (FNA) in 199 patients, using a 23-gauge aspiration needle with an 18-gauge guiding needle. The diagnosis was confirmed by cytological examination of the needle aspirates in 90 out of 122 patients with malignant tumors, giving a sensitivity of 74%. The specificity of the cytological diagnosis was 100%. Both cytological and histological material was available in 49 patients. The tumor typing from the FNA specimens and the biopsies was in agreement in all but 3 cases. Pneumothorax occurred in 27% of the patients, but only 3.5% required tube drainage. Small variations (p > 0.05) in number of diagnostic punctures and rate of complications were evident among the participating physicians and between two fluoroscopic equipments.

“…Dick et al stated that nodules as small as 3 mm could be accurately biopsied, but no data are given to support this contention. 4 Sargent et al 14 found that the size of the lesion was not a factor in success or failure in obtaining a positive biopsy. Pulmonary nodules ranged in size from 1 to 7 cm in their series.…”

Role of transthoracic fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in diagnosing 170 patients of non-resolving pneumonias was studied. There were 117 males and 35 females in the age range of 3 to 72 years. The neoplastic lesions diagnosed by FNAC included 51 primary lung cancers, 6 metastatic deposits, 1 malignant mesothelioma of pleura, 1 Hodgkin's disease and 4 thymomas. Benign lesions included S6 pneumonias and abscesses of bacterial and chemical origin, 35 pulmonary tuberculosis, 2 fungal granulomas and 1 sarcoid granuloma. Aspiration cytology was inconclusive in 13 cases. The sensitivity of FNAC was 95.5 per cent in diagnosing malignant lesions accurately while the accuracy of cytological characterization was 95.3 per cent. There were no false positive reports. FNAC also helped in diagnosing sputum-negative pulmonary tuberculosis. Minor complications like syncopal attacks and haemoptysis of less than 5 mL occurred in 8.2 per cent of patient.
